CHEAR APT

Auditory Performance Test (yellow booklet)

This test consists of 10 sets of 4 monosyllabic words printed onto a single page. Eight of the pages are for consonant discrimination and two are for vowel discrimination. Each set of four images has six spoken presentations, so that two of the four words are repeated in a single test procedure. These words are chosen to be familiar to most children from age 6.

To perform this test, first decide on the presentation levels appropriate to use for the subject and whether to test with speech in noise or in quiet. Ask the subject to point to a picture after hearing a word and record the responses. After six presentations, turn the card to the next page. Add up the total words correct out of a possible total of 60.
